Publisher's Description

Now fully supports iPhone 4 with all new functions!Magnifying Glass - New York Times App of the Week!!!*** iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 only please ***************************************************************The New York Times: Gadgetwise - App of the Week!!! (10/21/2009)"Of the several [magnification apps] I tried my favorite is Magnifying Glass from I-Beam. The iPhone app is simplicity itself. Turn it on, point the camera at the fine print and then touch the plus button until it is enlarged enough to read... "Two other built-in features I like about Magnifying Glass: the button that instantly resets the image to low magnification and the camera button which lets you take a photo of your close up." - Roy Furchgott, New York Times************************************************************Magnifying Glass is a convenient, fun, easy-to-use digital magnifying glass. This app lets you view the real-time images coming from the iPhone camera and zoom-in on an object to get a better look at it. Magnifying Glass is also a fully functional zoomable camera!Magnifying Glass features: - Digital zooming - Fully functional camera - Rotation of the real-time images coming from the camera - Ability to freeze and enhance the live image - Accelerometer-assisted image capture to reduce image blur - A contrast filter to help improve image details in non-optimal lighting situations - Switch between the front and back cameras on the iPhone 4 - Turn the iPhone 4 torch on and offYou can manipulate the live images coming from the camera by rotating them in any fashion you would like (for instance, you can read that upside-down menu without having to turn the menu around). You can also freeze the live image coming from the camera and examine it in higher resolution. To help reduce image blur, an accelerometer-assisted image capture mode is available to help ensure the iPhone is steady when an image is frozen. After an image is frozen, a filter can be applied to improve the visibility of some image details in poor lighting situations. Because Magnifying Glass uses a digital zoom, the full original image is saved when a picture is snapped so that no information is lost. Magnifying Glass is designed for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 and requires OS4.0 or better.*** iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 only please ***If you like Magnifying Glass, please also check out our compass application Huckleberry. Huckleberry is a 3-D compass for your iPhone 3GS and is the compass app that should have been there all along. Huckleberry uses augmented reality to give you a whole new navigation experience!
